Little boy in my class. Last year there was no language, only biting, scratching and kicking. Now, he is talking and just last week started writing his name! Funny though, his name is Antonio, but he will only write antio because he doesn't like to repeat the letters. What a crack-up! This week, he drew a pig and a cat (picture) then a person. He pointed to each and said 'oink', 'meow' and 'hi'. He is one child that has made so much progress. Last year I would have suggested a special school for him, now I'm suggesting a support class.
Moral of the story? Never, Ever judge a child based on their disability or behaviour. They always have potential. He has become such a gorgeous kid.
This is why I teach.
